ESCAPING CENSORSHIP IN BRAZIL
This case is a good example of what we are living in Brazil. Please, look for information outside the mainstream media. If you know a Brazilian, ask them about what is going on here.
Last year a judge was banned from all mainstream social media platforms, the reason? She had a different opinion about the state of injustice we are living in. Among her arguments, one of the most famous is that our justice system works in favor of the criminals instead of the society. Also, she had a different opinion on the lockdowns during the COVID-19 time.
Early this year, she was dismissed as a judge for the same reason she was banned from social media, showing that media judgment is more effective and has a great influence on the state.
This week she announced she is coming back online through the Locals platform. She would be a great addition to the #Nostr community. I’ll try to make contact to bring her to our side!

That is exactly what I was writing about on my last post!
JANUARY 08 - THE BRAZILIAN VERSION OF THE JANUARY 06 INCIDENT!
I don’t know how many of the international audience are aware of what happened on January 08 2023 at the Brazilian Capital. Simply explaining, was somewhat similar to what happened at the US Capitol on January 06, 2020. A great number of people gathered in front of the government buildings to protest against the newly elected president when shit happened, or was made to look like it did!
This week started the trials of those accused of attempting against democracy on that fateful day! That, by itself, is a sign that something isn’t right. Anyone familiar with Brazilian justice knows that a case to get to the point of going to trial takes years! It has passed only 8 months. In addition, it went straight to the Supreme Court! The defendants have no one else to appeal if the sentence is in their disfavor, and for sure it will be.
This whole circus is being sold as a fight for democracy! I argue: Is there any democracy left to fight for? From what I see, the Brazilian democracy is far gone!

I've been busy the last couple of months, and was able to keep up with the strange news from Brazil, there was many.
Next week I'll try to compile the most relevant news from the time I was away.
#zapraiser
Helper write an article about Brazilian politics. The objective is to give international audience a backup on the path led Brazil to the point where it stands.
I'll bring some historical context and highlight the main events that happened in our young democracy.

Famous Brazilian influencer got his accounts blocked by the Supreme Court for "spreading fake news" about the government.

A good example to the earlier post of media coverage that is completely out of sense.
Seems like they want to prove everything is bad for the environment.
You don't get to choose how people interact with your notes on #nostr. That would be censorship.
I always hated how someone could block you on Twitter and prevent you from commenting or even seeing their content. Once you put words out into the world they are no longer yours to control. You can't control how people react to them. You can't take them back or make people forget you said them. They become public domain.
Likewise you can't make people listen either. If someone doesn't want to see you in their feed that is their choice, not yours. If you don't like what nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n is doing with zapvertising then block them! If advertising of any kind becomes a too big of a problem then choose a client that blocks them for you. You do not have to suffer from ads if you don't want to. Choosing not to listen to someone is not censorship, it's freedom.
That's exactly how I believe it should work!

Amem to that!!!
WILDFIRE – WHAT IS THE DEAL?
This week we are seeing news about the wildfires in Canada and the
problems brought to the US by the smoke.
For the past four years, at least here in Brazil, we have been flooded
with news of the “wildfires of the Amazon Forest” and I believe most of the
developed world got some of that news. Even Hollywood actors stepped in for the
cause.
There is no problem in reporting the fires and raising awareness of the
issue, the problem is the partiality it brings. They forget to mention that,
like the wildfires in Canada and even the US, they a seasonal. Like most of the
places on Earth Brazil also has a wet and dry season. As we all know, when the
weather is dry the vegetation is prone to ignite and spread the fire. Another
common misinformation is that the fires happen in the middle of the forest
which is wet (rain forest) it happens on the edges and mostly in the “Cerrado”
area as can be seen in the map below.
The conclusion I get is that’s ok to report and be aware, but don’t
treat it like it’s the end of the world. It’s not! Yes, some animals get caught
in the fires but that’s how nature works. It’s a natural process of renovation
and fertilization of the soil.
July to October is the dry season in Brazil, you will start to see news
about wildfires, take it with a grain of salt, that’s no big deal!
For full
disclosure, this is, by no means a scientific statement, it’s purely an opinion
based on observation. If it resonates in your mind, please help spread the word
to the international audience. traditional media don’t give the deserved
importance to what is happening, and when it does seem they are on the wrong
side.

A pior parte dessa informação está faltando.

A realidade e triste.
UNJUST JUSTICE-PART 2
Early this year a new judge was put in charge of the “Lava Jato” investigation that was responsible for uncovering the largest corruption scheme in Brazilian history, and we are used to corruption.
Many questions were asked about his nomination, for he is publicly in favor of Brazil’s current president, who was the main target of the investigation, putting in check his impartiality as expected from a judge.
A few days ago, though, he was discharged from his functions and might be arrested, depending on the evidence for threatening another judge’s son.
In moments like this, we realize that the balance of power, that makes a democracy strong, is completely shifted.
In the next post, I’ll make a reflection on Brazilian democracy, so outsiders can have a better understanding of how Brazil works.
Please, help spread the word to the international audience. Traditional media don’t give the deserved importance to what is happening, and when it does seems they are on the wrong side.

WE ARE LOST!
This week, the Brazilian president, Lula, nominated his lawyer for a chair at the Supreme Court! That is what happens here!
For worse, it seems the Senate, which has to approve the name will give it a go!!!
Please, help spread the word, to the international audience. Traditional media don’t give the deserved importance to what is happening, and when it does, appears they are on the wrong side.
